This weekend is the second major construction blitz of the summer on the Champlain Bridge.

All inbound lanes on the bridge will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday until 10 p.m. Saturday May 7. 

The work was originally scheduled to last until Monday morning, but the bridge corporation modified its plans on Thursday.

Just like the previous weekend, crews are installing a pair of trusses underneath the bridge in order to support the girders that hold up the outer lanes of the bridge.  

Turcot Interchange

As of 7:30 a.m. Saturday May 7, one out of two lanes from Highway 15 South to the 720 East will be closed, and remain closed until 2019. 

In order to prepare for closing a lane from the Decarie Expressway to the Ville Marie Expressway several ramps will be closed overnight on Friday and Saturday night.

 

The ramps from Highway 20 east to the 15 north, and from Decarie south to the 720 east will close on Friday and Saturday night after 11 p.m. and reopen the next morning. 

In addition one of two lanes on Highway 15 north will be closed from 11:30 p.m. until 7 or 8 a.m. on both nights.

The ramp that connects the westbound 720 to the Decarie Expressway will be closed from 11 p.m Saturday until 9 a.m. Sunday. 

Ville Marie Tunnel

The work to cover the Ville Marie highway near the CHUM superhospital was supposed to require the complete closure of that section of the 720 for one night this week.

On Friday morning Transport Quebec said the work will be postponed until a yet-to-be determined date. 

Mercier Bridge

Overnight work is taking place on the Mercier Bridge several nights this week.

One lane is closed on the bridge on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m.

On top of that, LaSalle Blvd. will be closed between Tresor Caché and Lafleur from May 9 and May 29.  

Jacques Cartier

Planning ahead for next week, the Jacques Cartier Bridge will be closed on the night of Tuesday May 10.

Crews will be reinforcing one of the piers that supports the bridge.

Lanes will be closed from 11:30 p.m. Tuesday until 4 a.m. Wednesday while construction crews do their work.
